Home Workbooks: Scissors Skills Workbook

I got this for my 4 year old, who is a lefty AND has some trouble with fine motor skills. This book was extremely helpful to him, as a kid who could not cut AT ALL. In preschool, as the other kids were slowly learning to cut, he could only make small snips, so he was pretty far behind the other kids. He also gets discouraged very easily; as in, he would cry at the first mistake. This book starts so basic, and slowly ramps up the difficulty, so he was able to slowly learn to cut without getting frustrated.The book begins as straight lines down a page, then some curves, then zigzags, and then slowly branches out into other simple shapes, swirls and paths. My son liked looking forward to the next page to see what challenge he would face, since each page is a little harder than the last. Near the end, there are 2 cut and paste activities.We do a page almost every night, and we are down to the final 6 pages. His cutting has improved dramatically, and this is the only book we've been using. He can now continually cut down the page, stopping to switch directions and curving along swirls.It comes with 2 sheets of gold star stickers, and a chart in the back. My son enjoyed adding a sticker each night that he was done with his "homework". There are more stickers than needed for this book, so we will keep using them as we graduate to a more difficult scissor skill book.This book was so helpful to us, but my son was very, very far behind the other kids his age. If your child can cut at all, this book will probably be too easy. However, if this is your child's first introduction to cutting, or they are behind, this is perfect.

I love the repetition for beginners. Cute pages easy to cut and stars included for reward. Great quality for the money

great way to teach cutting skills in a fun way to preschoolers

Easy to use for children. I will order more to each child can have one. Various scissor practice skills included. It's very basic -no frills. This should keep children focused. One page a day should be sufficient for beginners.

I bought those for my daughter who is in preschool. She loves to cut and follow the lines as she’s learning her motor skills. Great skill book for little ones.

This really helped make cutting fun for kids. It helped my child learn how to cute on the line, and the pictures were fun and creative. It was easy to use and great for the cost.

I thought the book it self was pretty basic. Most of them was just straight lines. My son got bored of it already.

My little boy loves using this during the school day. The reward stars keep him wanting to do more!
